<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2464231, member: 80121&quot;]Any coin, other than the early Morgan or later Peace Dollar, minted in 1921 is scarce, the mint made as many of the silver dollars as they could, when the realized that the 260,000 Morgan Dollars they melted for England didn&#039;t give them enough to redeem the Silver Certificates out there in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note George Morgan was the Chief Engraver in 1921, and he was to make the Morgan Dollars until they settled all the problems with the new Peace Dollar. All the Hubs and Dies had been destroyed, so he had to make them from scratch. Not bad for a guy in his seventies! He didn&#039;t have the right size mint punch for a silver dollar, so the word is he used one from a quarter or half which would explain why the mintmark is so small on them. Put a 1921 next to an earlier Morgan and you can see he did a pretty good job of duplicating the earlier ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
